Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
하일랜드 피틀로크리의 에드라두어가 피트를 태워 빚는 발레친은 셰리와 훈연이 만나는 진한 개성을 지닌다. 올로로소 셰리 숙성이 남긴 짙은 금빛 아래 살구와 바나나, 마르멜로와 은은한 페놀의 향이 겹친다. 2008년 원액을 11년 숙성한 이 위스키는 입에서 파인애플과 마지팬, 꿀의 단맛 위로 소금기와 훈연이 얹히며 46도의 도수가 균형을 단정하게 잡는다. 여운은 은근한 향신료와 옅은 짠맛, 셰리의 단맛으로 길게 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it has troubles talking at this very high strength, let’s add water right away (but it seems that there are nice notes of apricots). With water: listen, I’d love to bash this crazy wine finishing (and god knows Yquem is great wine) but contrarily to ‘Tokaj’ versions that were really too much, this is very, very enjoyable. Not sweetish at all, rather balanced, kind of phenolic, superbly fruity, on apricots, ripe bananas, quinces and herbal tea (camomile) and then marzipan and nougat. Works very well (I’m afraid)
restaurant Palate
punchy, sweet and fruity, all on pineapple drops and hot lemon marmalade. Very hot! With water: Edradour’s slightly ‘tricky’ character shines through for a short while but then it’s all bananas flambéed, tinned pineapples, brioche and apricot pie, with also quite some honey
timer Finish
long, a little more vegetal and spicy now, as well as a little salty
